Oh yeah, nothing to do with intelligence for sure. I just meant that, for me, since I've always used mouse plus a good amount of keyboard shortcuts, was too much to learn. That and the config files (hyprland, hyprpaper, this and that). I'd rather have less options, but be it more "easy" on the learning curve. On my work pc I use a tiling assistant for Gnome (it runs on catchyOS) and I just have a few combinations to tile midscreen or to the corners, and that is enough most of the time. "It is just that the brain forgets stuff it doesn’t see as relevant " that is so true and infuriating now that I'm trying to learn some academic work... pretty irrelevant for me lol

This is actually a great post. I've struggled with this and it feels like all those tiling window managers are for power users. They're a pain to customize and 0 intuitive (at lest for me). I share your question!

In /docker I have just the yml and .env files. All the data is on an external volume, docker runs as a local process and Dockman is a container (not sure if this is what you asked, sorry).

I tried dockge yesterday and I think it does not change permissions, haven't had time to really check. I just want to select and x number or containers and click update lol until now I had to get into every folder and docker compose pull.

I just found out something else: restic can't access the folders because root:root. this is so annoying! I'll try podman again... I didn't see how to make it find my containers lol

 

tl;dr: dockman changing permissions of /docker an I don't like it. Is it normal? Am I a control freak?

I've been using Linux for years, but always at a user level. Since last year I started tinkering, since I wanted to get out of big tech dependency. Now I'm running a modest home server and it's been great so far.

The problem I'm facing right now is that the number or docker containers grew up to a point where I thought of using a manager of sorts. Dockman feels good enough for me but it keeps changing permissions of the docker folder to root:root, so I keep getting pushed out.

I guess makes sense that, if I manage everything from Dockman, it would take control, but I really don't like that I can't manage permissions of folders on my server or PC and delegating that to a mere docker manager.

Thoughts on this?
